ITALY’S CONQUEST
PROVING LESS PROFITABLE THAN WAS HOPED PROBLEM OF COLONISING ABYSSINIA SOME SERIOUS DIFFICULTIES By Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. LONDON, October 3. The third anniversary of the Italian invasion of Abyssinia falls on October 3, says the Rome correspondent of the British United Press. The war cost £150,000,000. In spite of the prediction of a rosy future, Abyssinia has failed to live up to Italian expectations. This disappointment is not due to poverty of soil or lack of minerals, but to the fact that Italy has been unable to carry out' her colonial programme because of its immensity and the lack of cash. The trade balance is gradually becoming more favourable. Exports increased during the year from £66,000 to £220,000, and imports were reduced to £177,000.
